Kira Losing Weight

I don’t really have a favorite. I kind of just scroll through my dash and I like most of the stuff I see. I don’t really pay attention to who it is that’s posting it.

Well, before I even decided to start losing weight, I gave up eating french fries for the new year… So that’s been really tough. I guess just giving up all of my comfort foods. Well, I guess I haven’t really given much up in terms of food, because I still eat pretty much whatever I want to, but in moderation. I have given up a lot of time and money, though, to go to the gym. But I think it’s definitely worth every second and every penny.

This past week has been awful in terms of getting healthy. I got off track of going to the gym most days, and I haven’t been eating the healthiest foods. AND, today I was supposed to go to the gym around 9am, but I completely slept through my alarm and missed not only the gym, but also my Human Relations class. BOO! But anyway, I’m getting back to being healthy starting RIGHT NOW! Alright. I’m going to go paint my nails now. KBAI!

Yeah, definitely. It’s only happened a couple of times where the person just said it blatantly. Most of the time it was snide comments about my clothes or saying I look really good in a sarcastic way. People must think I’m really stupid if they think I don’t know what they’re getting at. But now that I’m in college, people don’t really care as much and they don’t see the need to make comments, because they really have no place to say anything. I’ve learned to not take it to heart. 

When I get the the gym, I usually go on the bike for 20-30 minutes. After that I’ll usually do some leg or arm machines and then maybe finish things with a quick walk on the treadmill. Nothing fancy, haha.

Yes, they know and yes, they care. They’re really supportive of my decision and they do the best they can to motivate me and they’re really positive about the whole thing. My mom is actually losing weight too, so we’re both kind of doing this together. She’s been really successful so far, she’s down about 20 lbs. She’s super excited because her wedding ring, that used to fit snug, won’t stay upright anymore. :)

I mean, sometimes… It’s not often, but it does happen. I think it happens to everybody sometimes. It happens in those moments of weakness, where you don’t seem to have any self control. It feels so good to be doing it at the time, but when it’s over, you feel like complete shit. I do, anyway. I always think to myself, “this sucks, why couldn’t have I just controlled myself?” But I can’t really explain it. Things happen, though. You just have to keep moving forward.

This is all for me. It’s so I can be healthy and so I can have killer confidence. It’s so I can wear those close that I’ve always seen other girls wear that I can’t fit into. I wouldn’t do this for anybody but myself. I’ve tried losing weight before, but it was because my mom wanted me to. But I didn’t really want to and I didn’t have the motivation or determination to do it, and that’s why it never worked. But now, since I’m the one who really wants this, it’s working and I couldn’t be more proud of myself.
